Thread Forming Tap 1/2 -13 HSS-E MPN:18252
Thread Forming Tap 1/2 -13 HSS-E is a specialty tap designed for cutting threads into various materials such as aluminum, brass, steel or stainless steel without the need of pre-drilling. Made from high speed steel, these taps have a 4 digit graduation which provides accuracy to +/-0.0001mm making it suitable for precision machining applications. The chamfered end helps reduce stress concentrations while improving alignment during thread cutting. Furthermore, the use of a lower cutter pressure compared to conventional taps prevents galling and distortion on delicate materials or soft metal surfaces ensuring quality threads each time. Its self-tapping ability reduces the need for multiple operations making it an essential tool in industries such as automotive, construction and manufacturing where precision and speed are critical.
